PSA: Sprint gives you more $$ for a T-Mobile Nexus 5, than a Sprint Nexus 5.

Using https://secure.sprintbuyback.com/cns/selector if you say your Nexus 5's carrier is Sprint, the trade in value is $97, saying it is T-Mobile, $150

 

And we all know that there is only one Nexus 5, Sprint and T-Mobile use the same exact model.

 

The site requires you to enter your phones serial number too after you select the phone, which makes this difference in pricing awk.

Either price is a total rip off, used nexus 5's in mint condition are still pulling $300 on ebay.

 

The prices on Ebay went up after the Nexus 6 announcement. 

 

Assuming the demand for them increased after people realized that the next Nexus was going to 6". 

 

I picked mine up a couple weeks prior to the N6 announcement in new condition for $210. Now you'll be lucky to get it for $275.

I think it was more so the fact that the nexus 6 turned out to damn near be twice the price as the nexus 5.  If the nexus 6 came in at under $400 then it would be different.

True, didn't think about cost.

Yeah, a 6" phone is just to big for me but if the nexus 6 came in at under $400 I would have bought it on day one for sure.

I should have invested in used Nexus 5 futures several months ago.  I could have been rich, bitch!

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
